Overview

In this talk, we will explain how to improve the parameter control aspect using the three inferential that were developed to predict ethanol content in methanol and methanol in water, utilising the pressure and temperature indicator readings at the columns. With these, the change in composition can be estimated in real-time, and more methanol product is produced by maximising ethanol in methanol and minimising methanol in water. Besides that, we will talk about the various changes and initiatives which had taken place within the process control and business network. Many of these initiatives or programs are here to stay post COVID-19, as it has successfully reinforced cyber security by far.
